Club career

Dr. Sadaghiani is the first ever Iranian soccer player to play abroad in a European league. He played for youth teams of Fenerbahce and Rapid Wien then returned to Iran and established Ferdowsi Club in Mashhad, but his stay was short, returned to Tehran a year later.

At 26, he moved Europe to study in Belgium. He arrived at the Université du travail de Charleroi in 1929. He joined CS Marchienne-Monceau, a provincial second division team. He proved to be a very gifted player so he made his mark in Belgium's First Division playing for R. Charleroi S.C. for three successful seasons.

In the 1930s, his premature baldness earned him the nickname of “Panne de verre”, a wallon folkore expression used for bald people.

After Charleroi, he moved to Turkey for a year with Fenerbahce then back to Belgium where he played in Division III and IV. In 1936 he left Belgium and finished his football career with Toofan in Tehran.
